I'm guessing a race pack for the Singapore GP.

/mumbles jealously...

But what is that? Like Maps or goodies or a shoey kit or what?

 

[Agent_Smith]

Yeah. Open it!! Do it. Doooo eeeeeet!!

 

[Ecco]

Great to see Kubica testing today. Putting out some decent times too

 

[Icemanbrfc]

Agreed, boring Hungaroring is f**king boring with these cars...

How can you have a race circuit where cars can’t travel more than 1.5 seconds of each other?

Hungaboring lol

it's the tickets for the race weekend, Turn 3 Premier Lounge.

We sit facing the pit exit, lots of action from that vantage point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhFGGzgtzQo

hehe... you can see the clip from last year.

Third time we're going to the Singapore GP, it's great one to go to

This is the view we have, great entertainment during the pit stops:

If you don't mind...what sort of cost is involved??

If you don't mind...what sort of cost is involved??

For two people:

GP tickets were R41k, we chose Turn 3 Premier, which is more expensive than a normal ticket.

Flights to Singapore direct on Singapore Airlines can be had at around R21k return in economy.

Plenty of affordable self-catering via AirBnB, but we are staying in a fancy-ish hotel, R18k for 6 nights.


Singapore is a very expensive place: local beer at R110, cocktails around R350, going to eat out is very expensive (Nandos for 2 will cost around R400).

but it's well worth it for the great racing and the ease of getting there, getting around, safety, etc.

So a R100k vacation. Nice.

What can I say, it really pays not to breed ;-)

Great run by Kubica.

I think Palmer can start packing.

 

[Fox1]

Watched Kubica's interview. He has some limitations it seems but it's not hindering his performances.

 

[Wall]
